# The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Understood. But I would like you and the others dealing with greece to
explain the significance of greece's problems to the world or region. Is
important that in selecting a subject to for attention we begin by
defining the significance of ths subject. We spend a lot of time
addressing issues whose importance needs definition.

I had read rumors about this as well. I know it's just a rumor, and
that we're talking about Greece statistics, but it seems consistent
with the massive upward revisions of their budget deficit, from 6
to close to 13 percent.

PUBLICATION: background
ATTRIBUTION: Greek sources in the EU
SOURCE DESCRIPTION: Greek attorney in Brussels who ran for
Parliament in Athens with PASOK
SOURCE RELIABILITY: A
ITEM CREDIBILITY: 4 (rumor and hearsay)
SUGGESTED DISTRIBUTION: Analysts
HANDLER: Laura
This is all rumor mill in Brussels, but comes from a Greek source
who has good government contacts:
1 - Allegedly, the current Greek government purposefully
exacerbated the deficit problem in 2009 (with the goals of pinning
all economic problems on the previous administration and also
possibly to get more help from international bodies) by paying
some accounts due early. For instance, payments that would have
been okay to make in January 2010 were paid early in Nov or
December 2009 to purposefully increase govt spending.
2 - There are suspicions that Karamanlis used the fires as an
excuse to call elections because he saw that the shit was about to
hit the fan on the government's financial situation.
3 - When I asked about the IMF team looking at the Greek books my
source laughed and said, "that's assuming they even show them the
right books."
